That last one doesn't rely on physics apparently.

Jeeze, that last one.. Definitely deserves the Number 1 spot.

The Magnetic Valves are the most comically over complicated imo. Seriously seems overdesigned.

The diagram shows the ball centered in the spring and off the contact. I can see that rolling a ball is a legitimate way to make a contact, although bizarre.
"However, my view has changed in recent days. Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."

Thanks for another swell video, Chyros, and a particularly entertaining one. Your comments made me laugh so much I woke up my family (who, like most normal people, were asleep at 1:30 a.m.).

Okay, Futaba MDs have 16 parts each—so with 101 switches per board, that's 1616 switch parts per board. JBBC indeed!
